The Essential Role of Art Agents, Consultants & Galleries in an Artist’s Career

The life of an artist often conjures a romantic image—immersed in a studio, music playing or a podcast humming in the background, an artist bringing creative visions to life with the hope that the world will embrace them. Yet, the act of creating is only one part of the equation.

Transforming passion into a thriving, sustainable career requires more than talent alone. Visibility, strategic positioning, and meaningful connections are essential to navigating the art world successfully. This is where art agents, consultants, and galleries play a pivotal role—acting as advocates, connectors, and strategists who help artists expand their reach, seize new opportunities, and build lasting success.

Exhibition in Cincinnati

MAY, 2024

For the second time in as many years, Marina Cutler brings MCs Art of Living to Cincinnati to share yet another great exhibition in one of the South’s most inspiring and original Hotels, 21C.

Situated in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, 21C Museum Hotel is a boutique Hotel and Museum all in one. It doesn’t just have art as décor, it has a complete, properly curated museum with cutting edge 21st century works.

Showing until September, the present exhibition, The Future is Female, includes some of the most thought provoking, creative, reflective language and works by both global and US artists such as Stephanie Hirsch, (a personal favorite) Alison Saar, Lesley Dill and Gaela Erwin.

Should you be traveling in the Mid-South, and stopping in Cincinnati this summer, I highly encourage you to “experience” 21C Museum Hotel and this current exhibition, The Future is Female.

I hope it will inspire you to explore and find your own Art of Living.
Cheers, MC @MCsArtofLiving

Modernism Week in Palm Springs

MARCH, 2018

If you love art, design and wine then Palm Springs is certainly a place you want to visit, and if you can be there during Modernism Week then that’s even better!

Modernism Week’s signature February event is an annual celebration of mid-century modern design, architecture, art, fashion and culture. This exciting festival takes place in February in the Palm Springs area of Southern California. Modernism Week features more than 350 events including the Modernism Show & Sale, Signature Home Tours, films, lectures, Premier Double Decker Architectural Bus Tours, nightly parties and live music, walking and bike tours, tours of Sunnylands, fashion, classic cars, modern garden tours, a vintage travel trailer exhibition, and more.

So once again I share with you what is just one of those events & places I hope you have a chance to visit. You can certainly experience it over 3 days but a week is even better.

I hope this will inspire you to find your “Art of Living” wherever you are.
Cheers, MC

Blueberries are a major source of flavonoids, which have been found to enhance neuron connections in the brain and stimulate regeneration of neurons, both of which improve short-term memory.

National Drink Wine Day

FEB 2017

Happy Saturday ya'all and cheers to #NationalDrinkWineDay!

There are many health benefits that have been linked to red wine when consumed in moderation.
Balance and moderation!
_
I have included a link to a great article that I read, it shares many studies that back this up. http://www.foods4betterhealth.com/national-drink-wine-day-red-wine-benefits-30641

But there is no better benefit that I can think of than sharing a glass of wine with those you love.

It's the ritual of conversation and being with people can makes that glass of wine an #experience and a #memory.

This @sebastianiwines cab #cherryblock 2012 was shared by my niece Diana and Ryan compliments of their #California #travels. It was our last wine in her old home before she moved. It is a memory we shared and that wine reminds me of her!

Modernism Week in Palm Springs

Feb, 2017

Palm Springs has one of the largest selections of mid-century modern homes and the artwork to fill them. Every year in February, the annual “Modernism Week” takes place with highlights that include architecture, art, design and then some.

The Palm Springs Fine Art Fair also takes place during February, this year Feb 17th – 19th. Here you will find everything from local galleries to those from Canada, Mexico and Europe sharing their hand selected artists and becoming part of the vibrate art community in the Valley.

There are specific happenings organized and you can find the schedule and details here www.modernismweek.com

I love how everything in Palm Springs excites me! I’m enveloped in colour, design, art, beauty and everyone there feels that vibe! Vibe really is the perfect word to describe how this feels, a mid-century modern aesthetic vibe!

So, I thought I would share some of the “vibe” I feel while in Palm Springs with the photos below. I hope it inspires you to find your “Art of Living” wherever you are.
Cheers, MC
